Article III. — Notes on Homoptcra from Illinois, with Descriptions of Neiv Forms, chiefiy Eupteryginae. By W. L. McAtee. The records given herein supplement those in a previous paper (Bui. 111. State Nat. Hist. Survey, Vol. XV, Art. II, April, 1924, pp. 39-44) along similar lines, and constitute a report on various lots of Homoptera, chiefly Eupteryginae submitted to the writer for determination. The species of the genus Tvphloc\ba are treated in a previous paper (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol." 68, Art. 18, pp. 1-47), and those of the genus Empoasca are held pending revisional study. Family PSYLLIDAE Genus Calophya Loew Calophya pallidula new species With well-developed genal cones, contiguous at base, rather acute and outcurved at apex, this species is more closely related to C. flavida Schwarz than to any other species. It is of about the same size (body 1.5 mm., fore wing, 1.9 mm.), but is pale greenish yellow instead of "honey yellow" or fulvous, the wings hyaline, not fumose, and the pterostigma shorter, about % the length of the cell it bounds costally, instead of j-i as in C. flavida. Holotype and paratype (1) females, Meredosia, Illinois, May 29, 1917. Holotype and paratype deposited in the collection of the Illinois State Natural History Survey.

Genus Otiocerus Kirby 0. wolfii Kirby.—Metropolis, 111., Sept. 3, 1924, T. H. Prison. This species, according to its describer, has only one appendage to the antenna in the males. The male at hand has two appendages but otherwise agrees with the original description and with the identification of the species by Pitch (Trans. N. Y. State Agr. Soc. 16, 1856, p. 394) in contrasting it with his 0. amyotii. Because of the usual imperfection of specimens the taxonomic value of these appendages is not well understood, and it seems best at present to base determination on other characters. 128 Otioccrns zvolfii var. iiitbiliis new variety A female specimen with the mesonotum and adjacent parts of the clavi infuscate is made the holotype of this new variety. The brown vitta of tegmen is ahnost obsolete, and the dark marking at apex of clavus more conspicuous than usual. Holotype, female, Metropolis, 111.. Sept. 3, 1924, T. H. Prison.

In the paratype, the coloration of tegmina anterior to crossveins has hardly any reddish in it (in this respect resembling var. iconica) but this may be due to incompletion of the coloring process.

Survey, 15, Art. II, April, 1924, p. 41 [Meredosia, 111. J. Meredosia, May 29, 1917; Dongola, May 10, 1917, May 12, 1916; Metropolis. Aug. 18, 1916; Forest City, April 3, 1917. This addi- tional material reveals that this species has a red-marked form, the prin- cipal vittae of tegmina, the markings on head and pronotum, and even the scutellar triangles in some cases being red, usually of a bluish cast with purer red edgings. Erythroneura rcpctita new species Belongs in Group 4 of my 1920 paper (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, IC, pp. 269-271, Aug. 20, 1920), and is nearest to E. mallochi Mc.\tee in form, venation, and coloration. Ground color of vertex pale yellow, with an irregular vitta each side the median line deeper yellow ; pronotum pale yel- low overlaid by olive-brown except for anterior margin, a spot on each lat- eral margin, and three ovoid spots across disk ; scutellum yellow with the basal triangles blackish, and two discal spots brownish ; tegmen whitish hyaline with the base faintly dusky, a broad band from costal plaque, across corium and clavus, widening slightly toward the commissure, and apical cells except their extreme bases, a spot on costa in middle of cell 2, and apices of cells 3 and 4, dusky. Front bordered laterally by dusky stripes, and clypeus dusky basally as in E. mallochi. Under side of thorax, a band across base of dorsum, and apex of ovipositor, black ; apex of dorsum brownish; abdomen otherwise, and legs and under side of head pale yellow. Length, 3 mm. The holotype female was loose in one of the boxes in which the col- lection was received, so can be labeled only Illinois.

Erythroneura pyra McAtee Erythroneura pyra McAtee, W. L., Proo. Biol. Soc. Wash., 37, p. 133, Dec. 29, 1924 [Berwick, Iowa]. Closely allied to E. hartii Gillette, and copying it in markings, except that the red markings surrounding the pale saddle-spot are confined to clavus anteriorly and extend no farther posteriorly than costal plaque, whereas in E. hartii they cover the corium also, and extend to the cross- veins or beyond. Inner clasper angulate inwardly, then outwardly, the angles more or less acute, the inwardly angling apical process slender and acute ; process of 9th segment long, slender, bowed outwardly subapically, where it is armed below by a large aciculate process, ape.x also aciculate; aedeagus stout, shaft shorter than the basal cavity. Length, 3 mm. Muncie, III, July 4, 1919; Urbana, 111., July 20, 1920, C. P. Alex- ander. Yellow-marked forms, Urbana, III, April 23, 1919, April 29, May 1, 1920 ; in copula the latter date. The following comparative statement about the genitalia of E. hartii may be made : Inner clasper rather the shape of a human lower leg, with the knee, heel, and toe more or less acute; process of 9th segment simply decurved, falcate, thinner apically as viewed from above ; aedeagus slender, recurved apically, shaft much longer than the basal opening. Erythroneura mitclla new species In venational characters this species belongs in the same group (IV of my paper on the genus. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 46, 1920, pp. 269-271) as E. pyra, but the coloration is much like that of some varieties of E. comes Say, as a heavily marked specimen of var. vitifex Fitch. Ground color of head and thorax pale yellow, of tegmina hyaline whitish. Vertex with yellowish to reddish curved lines near eyes, and forming a more or less ovate marking in middle ; pronotum with an irregular Y on disk, and a heavy triangle on each anterior angle orange-red; basal triangles of scutellum yellow, outlined by red, apex red ; tegmen with a broad band from costal plaque to commissure, narrowing on clavus over about the middle of which it forms an oblique marking, and a narrow band on clavus only at a point one-fourth from apex, pinkish red ; a longitudinal vitta along outer margin of clavus basally is yellowish red ; a triangle on costa near base of corium, orange-red and a band from posterior end of costal plaque to crossveins scarlet, a more or less inclosed oval area, and the costal border whitish. A dark spot in hind end of costal plaque, and in base of fourth apical cell. 133 Inner clasper somewhat enlarged and angulate siibapically, the angle with a downwardly projecting short tooth, apex bifid into aciculate pro- cesses, the axial one longer; process of 9th segment, long, slender, acicu- late apically, distinctly outcurved subapically, forming with its fellow a caliper-like figure ; aedeagus moderately stout, swollen medially, shaft longer than the basal opening. Length, 3 mm. Two of the females have the anterior markings yellow.

Erytlironeiira comes var. octonotata Walsh Having examined copious material of the genus from Illinois, which in all probability must contain some representatives of octonotata de- scribed by Walsh from that state, I have decided to use the name for some whitish hyaline specimens with slight orange-yellow color-markings, and a dark dot in middle of clavus, in addition to the usual ones in apex of costal plaque, apex of second apical, and base of fourth apical cell. In effect it is the variety delicata McAtee with a dark dot in clavus. White Heath, April 30, 1916 ; Brownfield, Aug. 17, 1916.
